MP3 stands for MPRG Audio Layer III. It was made to compress audio files without losing any of their sound or quality. MP3’s originally played through only the computer. However, in February 1999, SubPop became the first record company to sell music tracks in the MP3 format. Closely afterward, the first portable MP3 player appeared. Since then MP3 players have gotten smaller as technology has allowed data to be stored in smaller and smaller areas.
The first MP3 player was actually made by Tomislav Uzelac in 1997, but it wasn't entirely portable.
